Repository For Ubuntu Updated

I’ve updated my repository for Ubuntu PowerPC. Its located here. It contains cutting edge versions of Compiz Fusion and Awn.

1) Adding the repository

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line for Feisty:

deb http://repository.theesylum.com feisty eyecandy

For Gutsy:

# Compiz Fusion
deb http://repository.theesylum.com gutsy compiz-fusion
# Awn and other eyecandy goodness
deb http://repository.theesylum.com gutsy eyecandy

Update your list of packages with

sudo apt-get update

2) Removing the old packages (Gutsy only)

If you’re on Gutsy then run this command first to get rid of the official packages:

echo "aptitude -y remove" `sudo dpkg -l | egrep '(beryl|emerald|compiz)'| awk '{print $2}'` | sudo bash

3) Installing Compiz Fusion
To install Compiz:

sudo apt-get install compiz  # compiz-gnome AND/OR compiz-kde

To install CompizConfig configurator:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager # libcompizconfig-backends-* ?!

To install all of the assorted plugins:

sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-*

4) Running Compiz Fusion
Eventually I’d like to package fusion-icon. Fusion-icon is a starter script that will pass different options to compiz depending on your configuration. Until I do so, you can simply start compiz with the following:

compiz --replace

5) Installing Awn
Run the following:

sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator

I’m going to also add a package for awn-extras soon.
